Experimental Dance/Movement Works In Progress @Mobius
725 Harrison Ave - Boston, MA
8pm - suggested donation: $5
with
Jennifer Hicks' company CHIMERAlab
Jimena Bermejo-Black and Allison Ross
Ellen Godena, Max Lord, Burns Maxey
Debut of what is planned to be an ongoing series focussed on experimental dance/movement works in progress.
The concept behind this series is loosely based on/inspired by previous Mobius WIP evenings and on Movement Research's Open Performance Series at the Dance Theater Workshop in New York City.
Each evening in the series will be divided into two parts.
The first part/hour will consist of three or more presentations of pieces in development by various artists in the dance/movement fields.
The second part of the evening, in itself a work in progress and experimental in nature, will seek to find ways of processing what was seen/heard and facilitate discussion / feedback which will hopefully be beneficial and intriguing to both the audience and the artists/performers.
For this debut evening, three artists selected by Jane Wang (MAG) will be presenting their works in progress: Jennifer Hicks (former MAG), Jimena Bermejo-Black, and Ellen Godena. For the 2nd part of the evening, Mobius will be reconfigured into a pseudo-bar with tables and chairs, wine and cheese (and non-alcoholic offerings) to facilitate informal discussion/conversation about the three works presented.
Jennifer Hicks will be presenting her piece Sand Dobbies with her newly formed company CHIMERAlab: Jennifer Hicks, Allison Ross, Laura Fortune, Julia Marx. Jessica Newman. Sound for the piece will be by composer/theorist Michael Gardiner.
Sand Dobbies
Deep nature of the sea and shore is the inspiration for the dance.
We move from metaphors, colliding worlds and open to a river of thoughts and feelings.
We move from the elements, from emptiness, from strength and from turmoil.
We move from poetry and from dreams.
This work is a section of a larger work that will be presented at Green Street Studio on January 24th/25th 2009.

Jimena and Alli explore partnering through minimal movement and sound. The dancers' vocal sounds will be intertwined with an original music composition created by Jimena Bermejo and David Thacker.

Musician Max Lord, movement artist Ellen Godena, and visual artist Burns Maxey perform an improvised work merging the obscure sounds of the midi marimba lumina amid a movement landscape littered with goat-like creatures and robotic puppets.
